I'm not really sure how this mid-week stuff is going to work - Tuesdays and Thursdays for me run from 11pm to gone midnight which isn't really viable when you have a job and real life stuff, and any other euro's have it worse (all the Finns), and the Wednesday works for us Euros but only about 4 yanks will make it (the unemployed basement dwellers).

Basically I can't do this at all, but maybe it's different for everyone else

Might I suggest doing 1 late night per week? Example: Wednesday 9PM EST. These weekday games are too early in the day for those of us on Pacific/Mountain/Central time USA. For me these games are 2-5pm, quite early in the day, for some others its 12pm to 3pm, again quite early. Hoping you consider doing 1 late night game. One 9-10PM EST or later game a week would be appreciated and give those of us with jobs/families a chance to play. Thank you for your consideration here.

Wouldn't be opposed to this idea

2:morph> serious question how does ass taste crip
2:cripple> dude it tastes amazing. especially when her liquid comes out after u pull out ur tongue out of her butthole

What ix and Banks were talking about was exactly what I was thinking, so that everyone in the mainland US/Canada would be off work to play for one of the weekday times. But, as we were batting around the times, the last time I mentioned it I didn't think too hard about it and said 3 hours earlier rather than 3 hours later. Whoops.

This time won't work for most Euros, unfortunately. But, Tues/Thurs won't work for many working stiffs in US/Canada/elsewhere, so it seems fair enough. If it doesn't draw enough to make games, and Tues/Thurs are extremely successful, can always bump it back.

I'm excited to try this league! My play time in TWDT is basically nil since I'm doing the cords and subs and adds so am excited to see how I could fair in this as its based on individual stats.. Thanks for doing this work ogron

Neither will the current timeslot for euro's. A working man wont be online at 12 am till 3 am to get some games.
Basicly what you are saying "Fuck the euro's." But then again, the zone has barely any euro left, so it wont work anyway with early time slots.

Lol yeah. Much more logical would be to have 3 timeslots: 1 for europeans, 2 for americans, evening and late-night games.

As major said, no working european will be online at midnight. If there were to be a timeslot for europeans, it could be 2pm 3pm 4pm est.

It's a question of demographics, we want to pull the most people possible.

Historically speaking, TWDT hosted Weekday games at 600/630/700 -- that generally seems to be the best nexus.

If you can show me evidence there are better timeslots I'm all ears.

At worst, you can still play Sundays, and still qualify for Finals. At best, you can show to both.

I did not host games at 6/6.30/7. I am pretty sure my season was the only one with weekgames. It was either 'just' 3-4-5 or 4-4.30-5.

I am sure people who play more have a better chance of getting higher in the ladder.
I even think the current weekend schedule is dumb. I mean warbirds are mostly from USA, why would u host them as first games? Just cuz TWDT does that too?
Historically javs get played a lot by euro's, just like base. But lets put them all in the back... For me personally is the chance that I will play a base game, is like 5% now. Weekdays are impossible and sundays are too late for me often too.
As far as I can see you are willing to change schedule for the working USA people, but not for the working europe people. The euro people are disappearing more and more already, and such stuff makes it more easy to quit.

Having one day be 3pm EST makes more sense to me since it covers Euros, but Qan and Beasty seem intent on 9pm EST.

They're both helping with the league and Qan makes the robots go, so I don't really want to fight them on the issue, and frankly I don't know how many players are West Coast or Euro, but my guess is there is a bigger Euro population than West Coast. Without the numbers, I can't say anything definitively.

Hmm only one game at 6 pm I see. Didnt remember it like that.

So we keep having those time slots? Atleast switch the different gamestyle up then. Like make thursday Base - javs -wbs.
I would even rotate the gamestyles on sunday every week. Like I stated before, those basing times are impossible for the working europeans. Even on sunday they are tricky. You guys do wanna favour the West coast ppl, but all you do is make the european people quit. For me there is no way I will show on weekdays and the last time slot on sunday is even doubtable. I have seen many more euro's like this.

I like this idea, maybe break up some of the days... have a monday BD/JD @ 6/630 or something

1:Foreign> i screenshot every time i get mvp in javs
1:pascone> folder is empty :/
1:Tiny> LOL
1:Mega Newbie> uhauhauhauhauhauha

So, I think we're going to modify the timeslots of the Weekdays, and have one of those three days slotted to benefit West Coast/Midwest to better serve the community.

Tuesdays -- 6pm/630pm/7pm EDT (WB/Jav/Base)

Wednesdays -- 9pm/930pm/10pm EDT (WB/Jav/Base)

Thursdays -- 6pm/630pm/7pm EDT (WB/Jav/Base)

Tuesdays and Thursdays will remain the same, but Wednesdays will be 3 hours later to benefit our friends in different time zones.

I'm somewhat skeptical of the ability to generate lots of players at that hour, but I've been lobbied to change one of them, so we'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

qan EDIT: Times have been corrected. My fault! Apologies, guys

i was asked what times would suit me best, and i gave my euro times, but i see nothing of it back here. Some very active and skilled pilots are in a euro timezones. Why even ask me if you not gonna consider our lives in the end?

6pm is just to late for euros, its midnight for us. And most euros are basers, so it will be even later. I was looking forward to playing TSL during the week, i even made some guys sign up who are in the same timezone as me, only to find out they forgot about us.
